		He can point to Matt Giordano, a once unheralded football player at Cal who finished his senior season last year as an All-Pac-10 safety and a fourth- round draft pick by the Indianapolis Colts.

		Because players aren't allowed to eat at a training table in the offseason, he's also responsible for his own meals -- strictly adhering to a Krasinski-prescribed diet of protein shakes, eggs, yogurt, protein bars, sandwiches or wraps with lean turkey, beef or pork, and dinners that typically are lean chicken, pasta and vegetables.

		Crouch, the 2001 Heisman Trophy winner as the Nebraska quarterback, came here this spring to play safety with the NFL Europe League's Hamburg Sea Devils, hoping to make the transition to another new position and a new career in football.
		Crouch says he feels he's finally made the transition to safety in Hamburg because he has had more technical and intensive training here than he had during his brief stint at the position in Green Bay.
		In his first try at an NFL career, Crouch was a third-round draft pick in 2002 by the St. Louis Rams, who wanted him as a wide receiver; he played in one preseason game, got injured, then announced his retirement.
